UK-Far East - which program/comp ?
A friend based in the UK, AC Elite, hasn't been flying much, but has now changed jobs and will be flying regularly to the Far East.
The schedules make OW more attractive than *, so any thoughts on options ? He'll be mostly buying medium priced economy tickets (not the most super discounted, but not full fare).
First thought was to register in Canada for AA and get the Plat challenge, but I gather it's already over; I presume AA would comp his AC status? If yes, any considerations about where he's "resident"?
CX is another thought, but I'm presuming the miles etc are much more attractive on AA...Also notice some of the RTW fares don't get miles with CX.
Any thoughts appreciated...
